MoCRA: US FDA cosmetic facility registration
Our Huzhou plant holds a US FDA cosmetic facility registration under MoCRA, number 3016013680. MoCRA, the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, requires every facility that makes cosmetics for the US market to register with the FDA. Registration is a listing, not an approval: the FDA does not certify cosmetic factories.
What MoCRA asks of the factory
Under MoCRA, a facility that manufactures or processes cosmetics for sale in the US must register with the FDA and keep the registration current. Our plant is registered; the number is 3016013680. The registration certificate was issued through Registrar Corp on 4 November 2025 and can be confirmed through 31 December 2026.
What MoCRA asks of the brand
The brand owner named on the label, called the responsible person, lists each product with the FDA, keeps safety substantiation, reports serious adverse events, and puts a US contact on the label. We supply the formula data and facility number needed for the product listing, and the SDS, IFRA document and allergen declaration for the safety file.

GMP for the US market
Separately, SGS has assessed the plant against the US FDA cosmetic GMP guidelines. That statement is a third-party assessment, not an FDA inspection, and the statement itself says so. Details are on the quality page.
